    Perils of Perception

    Global Impact of Development Aid

    IConducted by Ipsos

    September 2017

  • 2

    These are the findings from an Ipsos

    global survey on behalf of the Bill and

    Melinda Gates Foundation that look

    at public opinion of the progress in

    global development. The results

    highlight how people from 28

    countries frequently believe the

    world is in worse shape than it

    actually is and underestimate the

    progress made on improving lives

    around the world and in their own

    country.

    Over the next 15 years, do you think

    living conditions for you and your

    family will get better or worse?

    Countries with developing

    economies are most likely to be

    optimistic about their potential for

    positive change. Countries with

    developed economies are less likely

    to expect things will get better, but

    are most likely to say things will

    remain the same.

    Methodology• These are the findings of the Ipsos survey 26,489 interviews were conducted between July 21st – August 25th, 2017

    • The survey is conducted in a total of 28 countries around the world. Twenty-five countries were conducted via the Ipsos Online Panel system in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States. The following countries used face-to-face methodologies: Nigeria, Kenya and Senegal.

    • The precision of Ipsos online polls are calculated using a credibility interval with a poll of 1,000 accurate to +/- 3.1 percentage points, of 500 accurate to +/- 4.5 percentage points, and of 2,000 accurate to +/- 2.5 percentage points. For more information on the Ipsos use of credibility intervals, please visit the Ipsos website. The precision of Ipsos polls using face-to-face methodologies is calculated using a margin of error, with a poll of 500 accurate to +/- 4.4 percentage points.

    • Approximately 1,000 individuals aged 16-64 or 18-64 were surveyed in Argentina, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Japan, Spain, Peru and the United States. Approximately 2,000 individuals individuals aged 16-64 or 18-64 were surveyed in Brazil, China, and Italy. 500 individuals aged 16-64 or 18-64 were surveyed in the remaining countries.

    • In countries where internet penetration is approximately 60% or higher the data output is comparable the general population. Of the 25 countries surveyed online, 16 yield results that are balanced to reflect the general population: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and United States. The eight remaining countries surveyed –Brazil (53% Internet penetration among the citizenry), China (46%), India (19%), Mexico (41%), Russia (59%), South Africa (47%) and Turkey (47%)—have lower levels of connectivity therefore are not reflective of the general population; however, the online sample in these countries are particularly valuable in their own right as they are more urban/educated/income than their fellow citizens and are often referred to as “Upper Deck Consumer Citizens”.

    • Where results do not sum to 100, this may be due to computer rounding, multiple responses or the exclusion of don't knows or not stated responses.

    • Data are weighted to match the profile of the population.
